Project description:Optimization of broiler chicken breast muscle protein accretion is key for the efficient production of poultry meat, whose demand is steadily increasing. In a context where antimicrobial growth promoters use is being restricted, it is important to find alternatives as well as to characterize the effect of immunological stress on broiler chicken growth. Despite of its importance, research on broiler chicken muscle protein dynamics has been mostly limited to the study of mixed protein turnover. The present study aims to characterize the effect of a bacterial challenge and the feed supplementation of a citrus and a cucumber extract on broiler chicken individual breast muscle proteins fractional synthesis rates (FSR) using a recently developed dynamic proteomics pipeline. 21 day-old broiler chickens were administered a single 2H2O dose before being culled at different timepoints. A total of 60 breast muscle protein extracts from five experimental groups (Unchallenged, Challenged, Control Diet, Diet 1 and Diet 2) were analyzed using a DDA proteomics approach. Proteomics data was filtered in order to reliably calculate multiple proteins FSR making use of a newly developed bioinformatics pipeline. Broiler breast muscle proteins FSR uniformly decreased following a bacterial challenge, this change was judged significant for 15 individual proteins, the two major functional clusters identified as well as for mixed breast muscle protein. Citrus or cucumber extract feed supplementation did not show any effect on the breast muscle protein FSR of immunologically challenged broilers. The present study has identified potential predictive markers of breast muscle growth and provided new information on broiler chicken breast muscle protein turnover which could be essential for improving the efficiency of broiler chicken meat production.

Project description:The processing ability of chicken meat is highly related to its ultimate pH (pHu), which is mainly determined by the amount of glycogen in the muscle at death. The molecular mechanisms involved in variations of those traits for chicken remain to be fully described. For that purpose, two chicken lines were divergently selected on breast meat pHu, i.e. the pHu- and the pHu+ lines. In this study, Chicken Genome Arrays (60 K) were used to compare muscle gene expression profiles of chickens from both lines. The final goal of this experiment is to identify biomarkers of low and high-pHu chicken meat. This study was supported by INRA and the French Ministry of Agriculture through the RFI CASDAR #1309 OPTIVIANDE.

Project description:Carnosine is a bioactive food component with several potential health benefits for humans due to its physiological functions. Dietary supplementation with β-alanine or L-histidine can increase the carnosine content of skeletal muscles in chickens. Dietary supplementation with β-alanine or L-histidine has produced a slow-growing chicken variety with high carnosine content in the breast meat; however, the supplementation with L-histidine alone softens the meat toughness, which may affect consumers’ willingness to buy the meat. Gene expression is a key factor that influences meat quality. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that affect carnosine content and meat toughness would allow the production of more value-added slow-growing chickens. We compared global gene expression in chicken breast muscles with differing carnosine contents and meat toughness produced through dietary supplementation with β-alanine or L-histidine. We identified differentially expressed genes involved in regulating myosin, collagen, intramuscular fat, and calpain—factors that may affect meat tenderness. Pathway enrichment analysis indicated that the insulin-related and adipocytokine signaling pathways were altered by dietary supplementation with β-alanine or L-histidine. These data will be useful for future studies on carnosine content and meat toughness in slow-growing chickens.

Project description:This project aimed to compare the proteomic profiles between conventional chicken meat and cultured chicken meat produced through cell culture techniques. Proteins were extracted, separated using SDS-PAGE and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE), and identified through mass spectrometry. KEGG pathway enrichment and STRING-based protein-protein interaction network analyses were performed to evaluate metabolic characteristics and structural differences between the groups. Conventional meat exhibited a high abundance of glycolytic and muscle contraction-associated proteins, while cultured meat showed elevated expression of proteins involved in stress response and redox regulation. These datasets provide fundamental insights for improving the quality and ensuring the safety of cultured meat products.

Project description:With the continuous improvement of human dietary structure, the demand for high-quality chicken meat is steadily increasing. It is therefore crucial for breeders to enhance meat quality while maintaining muscle yield in broilers. Inosine monophosphate (IMP) is a key compound influencing meat flavour and quality. In this study, we used the Chinese local breed Gushi chicken breed as the research model and observed dynamic expression changes of the ankyrin repeat domain 9 (ANKRD9) gene in breast muscle tissues. By integrating transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses, we systematically investigated the role of ANKRD9 in chicken primary myoblasts. Our findings indicate that ANKRD9 may affect cell adhesion and IMP metabolism through regulation of the purine metabolic pathway. Further cellular experiments confirmed that ANKRD9 inhibits IMP metabolism in myoblasts. These results highlight the critical role of ANKRD9 in regulating IMP, a key flavour-related metabolite, and provide a potential molecular target and theoretical foundation for the breeding of high-quality broilers.

Project description:Abstract: Ammonia is one of the most prominent air pollutants in poultry houses. High levels of ammonia have adverse effects on respiratory health, growth performance, meat production of broilers, and breast meat growth and yield are critical important in the broiler industry. To date, studies focus on the negative relationship of ammonia exposure and breast muscle tissue are still very limited, and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, high concentrations of atmospheric ammonia were found to lower slaughter rate and broiler breast meat yield significantly (P < 0.05). To explore the candidate genes that ammonia regulates breast meat yield of broilers, high throughout RNA-Seq was used to compare the transcriptome of breast muscle with different ammonia exposure (50 ppm vs 3 ppm). In total, 129 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified (P-value < 0.05; fold-change ≥ 2), among which 87 genes were significantly down-regulated and 42 were up-regulated. Bioinformatics analysis suggested that DEGs (such as PDK4, ACSL1, GLUL, FBXO32) were involved in fatty acid degradation/metabolism, nitrogen metabolism, PPAR signaling and adipocytokine signaling pathways. Functional annotation showed that DEGs were mainly enriched in reactive oxygen species metabolic process and muscle contraction. It can be concluded that decreased meat yield was due to the DEGs participating in above biological processes and pathways. This study provides novel insights into transcriptional differences in breast meat between high- and low-ammonia exposed broiler chickens.

Project description:The objective of this project was to employ customized Agilent 8x60 chicken whole genome microarray to identify differentially expressed genes associated with white striping (WS) and wooden breast (WB) defects in breast meat collected from commercial broilers with different slaughter age. Following harvest of chicken breasts (n = 184), the breast samples were classified as based on their appearance into non-defect, WS or WB. The defective samples were further grouped based on defect severity (WS = mild, moderate, severe; WB = moderate, severe). A total numbers of 40 samples were selected to represent various degree of the defects. Total RNA from deep-frozen skeletal muscle was isolated, integrity check (RIN > 7.0) and subjected for one-colored microarray hybridization according to Agilent’s instruction. The array was designed (design ID: AMADID G4102A084792) based on the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Gallus gallus Annotation Release 103 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/annotation_euk/Gallus_gallus/103/). Differential gene expression (p-value < 0.05) was confirmed using qPCR and droplet digital PCR. Biological pathways associated with WS and WB were identified.

Project description:Since the effect of selection for better feed efficiency on meat characteristics is largely unknown. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify key proteins and pathways regulating both FE traits and meat characteristics. At ten weeks of age, thigh muscle samples from six birds (three with high FCR and three with low FCR value) were selected, and their proteomes were investigated using a label-free proteomic method. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to screen the key protein modules and pathways. We found that glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, metabolic pathway, carbon metabolism, biosynthesis of amino acids, pyruvate metabolism, and protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum play a key role underlying these two traits. Thus, selection practices for KR should simultaneously consider both trait groups to maintain the high meat quality of slow-growing chicken while improving FE.

Project description:Improvement of feed efficiency would increase profitability of the poultry industries by decreasing the amount of feed required for production. Korat (KR) chicken is a new alternative meat-type chicken breed which its meat is recognized for its high protein, low fat and low purine content, whereas its low feed efficiency leads to high cost of production. Deeper understanding on how feed efficiency influences meat quality is poorly elucidated. To fulfill deeper understand molecular key that point the variation in feed efficiency and meat quality, the aim of this study was to investigate molecular pathways and genes involved in feed efficiency and meat quality in thigh of slow-growing KR chicken. A total of 75 males KR chicken were reared in individual cage until 10 weeks of age. Individual feed intake and body weight were collected weekly to calculate Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) and Residual Feed Intake (RFI). Meat quality parameters were measured in thigh muscles such as ultimate pH (pHu), water-holding capacity (WHC), drip loss (DL), nucleotides content and several biomolecules (amide, …). Base on extreme values of FCR at 10 weeks of ages, 12 birds from the high FCR group (HFCR) and 9 birds from the low FCR group (LFCR) were selected for investigating their transcriptome using an 8×60K Agilent chicken microarray. In addition, a weighted gene coexpression network analysis was performed to detect the relationship between modules of co-expressed genes and feed efficiency, meat quality in thigh muscle. The result in this study indicated that selection on feed efficiency (FCR, RFI) would affect flavor precursor, lipid and protein content in thigh muscle. Based on WGCNA and functional enrichment analysis, results suggested that the key molecular pathways relate to FCR, RFI and meat quality (WHC, DL, IMP, AMP and inosine) in thigh muscle were the pathways of regulation of biological process, biological regulation and regulation of metabolic. Moreover, we revealed four genes there are assembly competence domain (ACD) gene, baculoviral IAP repeat containing 5 (BIRC5) gene, cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor 3 (COA3) gene and myosin light chain 9 (MYL9) gene that might be biomarker gene in feed efficiency and meat quality in thigh muscle. The hypothesis of the current study was alteration feed efficiency in slow-growing chicken will impact meat quality especially in term of texture and flavor.
